Bibles in more than 2,000 languages to be presented in Washington DC Museum of Bible

The Museum of the Bible, set to open in Washington D.C. in November, intends to collect more than 2,000 Bible translations throughout the world, reports Blagovest-Info.

More than 600 Bibles in various languages and dialects have already been collected through the museum’s relationships with various organizations. Many translations are still needed to complete the exhibition before August 21. The museum is reaching out to organizations and individuals from around the world to help the institution collect the remaining Bible translations. The museum expects fragments of the famous Dead Sea scrolls, an English manuscript breviary of the 14th century found in Egypt, and a Jewish prayer book of the 9th century. It is also planned to present the Bible taken to the moon in 1971 by Apollo-14, and a Bible that belonged to Elvis Presley.
